Add one more to yesterday’s list. Also screening at Cannes this year, as part of the prestigious Director’s Fortnight is ZedCrew, a Canadian production set in Zambia about Zambian rappers trying to make it big in the States. The short film, which is also meant to be an exploration of the African view of U.S. culture, was directed by 27-year-old newcomer Noah Pink and stars local Zambian actors, including rapper Alvin Fungo, aka Hong the Lyricist. Fungo is the one responsible for what sounds like a really dope soundtrack.
